Once more, cli-fi has been recognized for what it is - serious literature. -- quote from cli-fi author Charlene D'Avanzo

Charlene D'Avanzo writes

The second book in my Cli-Fi mystery series, "Demon Spirit, Devil Sea", just won a very prestigious IPPY (Independent Publishers) award. Once more, cli-fi has been recognized for what it is - serious literature.

"Demon Spirit", like all my mysteries, is based on an actual climate change event. It is set in Haida Gwaii, an archipelago off British Columbia. In the story I explore why a people so tied to nature would agree to a scheme promoted by an American businessman - pour tons of pink iron slurry into the ocean to stimulate phytoplankton blooms and get carbon credits. The so-called "Geritol Solution" has been questioned by marine scientists for decades. In addition, carbon credits are not awarded for phytoplankton blooms.
